__TOC__
==Description==
The '''Chained Boss''' is a slow and tanky boss, similar to the [[Slow Boss]]. It has far more health than many enemies that come before it, but is also slow, making it a shield for enemies behind it.

The '''Chained Boss''' only appears in [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode, which is locked behind [[Sandbox Mode|Sandbox]] mode. The '''Chained Boss''' used to be spawned from the [[Mystery Boss]] upon its death in [[Golden Mode|Golden]] mode.

==Appearance==
{{tabber
|Current
|The current version of the '''Chained Boss''' has a reflective dark green skin, and a rusted torso and legs. Chains are wrapped around both of its arms, torso and right leg. Rusted parts can be seen coming out from its back. It has a slash on its face.
|Version 2
|The unused version of the '''Chained Boss''' had a reflective dark green skin, and a rusted torso and legs. Chains were wrapped around both of its arms, torso and right leg. Rusted parts could be seen coming out from its back. It had glowing yellow eyes and a drooling zombie face. It walked slightly hunchbacked and had a twisted left leg.
|Version 1
|The '''Chained Boss''' was slightly taller than the [[Slow Boss]], and walked with its head slightly tilted forwards. It had light green skin, a green pebble torso and grey pebble legs. Its eyes were also glowing yellow and it had a drooling zombie face. A chain was wrapped around its torso. It also had rusty parts coming out of where its heart would be, front and back. Its head also appeared to have a tumor on the right side.

==Strategy==
*High DPS towers such as the [[Minigunner]] or [[Turret]] can easily defeat the '''Chained Boss'''.
**The [[Ranger]] also works well against this enemy.
**If needed, the [[Commander]] can decrease the firerate of these towers.
*Later on during the game, '''Chained Bosses''' spawn in hordes quite close to each other.
**For this reason, splash damage towers such as the [[Rocketeer]] and [[Mortar]] are quite effective against it.

==Trivia==

**The [[Uber Mystery]] also had a chance to summon in the '''Chained Boss''' in [[Fallen Mode|Fallen]] mode.
